Indeed correct. Schedule as follows: Sat. 19/03: meet up in Parys - sleep over as to be able to hit the road early the next morning Sun. 20/03: Parys > Warrenton Mon. 21/03: Warrenton > Orania (yep - you read correctly  :)) Tues. 22/03: Orania > De Aar I usually ride back from De Aar via...

Ah - yes - the dates. I keep forgetting. Idea is to meet up in Parys for 'scrutineering' (actually just a kuier and to prep a bit) on 19 March, and to end up in De Aar on 22 March (public holiday somewhere in-between). Best is to then take a day or two to get back from De Aae (own preference...

Esteemed ladies and gentlemen As some of you may know, I facilitate a quirky little off-road trip each year: since the demise of the real Paris Dakar, I orchestrate the Parys De Aar trip/ adventure / excursion each year. This year's planning is to change a little bit of the approx. 1100...

Sold to a gentleman in Pietermaritzburg  :)

Ok - will go as low as R49k - unfortunately can't afford to go lower as I need to make a dent in my new house bond  :'(

Am I allowed to bump my own post? (he he)

Thanks Mike! Yep - I've really looked after the X-C - I'm quite pedantic about my vehicles...

Esteemed WD gentlemen and ladies Having to invest some cash in accommodation (yip - wife reckons it's more important to live in a nice house than to own cool bikes), so conclusion is that the X-Challenge unfortunately needs to be parted with  :( So - a couple of vital bits of information: -...

What can I say - the man is a legend. Just also wanted to extend a huge word of thanks for the fantastic support at the event held at Bavarian Centurion last Friday - apparently there were approx. 250 people. It was ont only inspiring to hear some of Ted's stories, but it was also cool to...

Rynet The biggest thanks goes to you - thanks for volunteering to co-ordinate the Cape leg of Ted's trip, and a huge thanks for pulling the event off so elegantly and professionally. I had a long glass of red wine with Ted last night, and it really seems that he is thoroughly impressed - so...

No problem - bring your camera :-)

Hi! It's really nice to get such positive feedback :-) The event on Friday will be at the Centurion branch - idea is for Ted to show some photos etc. of especially his 1973 trip.

Hi guys Thanks for the positive feedback - it is really appreciated. Ted also enjoyed the talk tremendously, and commented on the fact that the questions were really excellent. Bruno took a huge amount of pics - his e-mail address is [email protected] (I'm sure he won't mind sharing some)...

He he - if Mike does not come on the 2011 PDA, the event is being cancelled :-)

Hi all Please note that Penguin Books will ensure that there are copies of Ted's books for sale at the Pretoria- as well as Cape Town events. They have indicated that suggested retail is as follows: Jupiter's Travels = R155 Dreaming of Jupiter = R175 I'm sure Ted will also not mind to sign...

I'll part with my X-Challenge - 7500km on the odo - was thinking along the lines of 50k.

In order to show Ted some of the scenery available in our incredible country, I decided to take him to the Timkulu Safari lodge (www.timkulu.co.za) near Warrenton in the Northern Cape for 3 nights (23 - 26 November). You are however also cordially invited to partake in this extremely rare (and...

Green light given :-) Thanks for offerring to help PS - the other thing I forgot to mention is that it would be great if someone could lend him a bike to get around with... I know I'm pushing my luck, but maybe Atlantic Motorrad could lend him a Beemer?

Gentlemen (and of course esteemed ladies) Inspired by the positive response received from the Cape Town WDs, I had a re-look at Ted's travel plans. 29 November 02 December seems a distinct possibility. To be able to pull a visit to Cape Town off, I will however need some help: -...

My 10c worth: had my pissed off (cross!) challenge for some years now - loving every moment on it. BMW has a standard recall on the shock, where they fix the rubbing issue free of charge. Mine was also replaced under warranty (again free of charge) since it kept losing pressure. The new one is...
